In the series, we witness two girls, Elena Greco, and Raffaella Cerullo, who grow up in a working-class neighborhood in a small, rustic town situated away from the city, near Naples.

One day, Cerullo, an important person in Greco's life, disappears and is nowhere to be found. An older Greco narrates the story of her friendship with Cerullo, whom she used to call Lila. The story covers their lives from the age of 6 to 66.
